There you were across the table
Across the classroom where I'd find
Myself not present between the lines of your mind
In contrast, me having you in my head
Everyday the picture of you instead
Of something else productive
You sitting there conductive of my sight
Everyday I'd try to fight
Myself and my mind with you between the lines
Your own presence
Has taken me away from the present
Looking for a present
Of your presence right next to me in the present
But that ride is long gone
Myself trying to make sense
While trying to keep holding on since
And in my defense
You're between the lines between my mind
To which I will find
When you're here all along
I try to find a song
To ponder my life choices and regrets
While keeping me distracted from them
So yes, you may sit there across the table
Across the classroom
With your own room and space
As I look at your face
I am reminded of our fate
To which has been ended
And I have defended
The thoughts and actions of my life
While you sit there in between the lines of my mind
It may seem fine
All the weight after that fate
But it's having me wait
For a date
For a time where a meaningful word
One that won't go unheard
One that won't lead to a third try
You left all your chances on the floor
Didn't even bother picking up three or four
Therefore leaving us our fate
That has got me thinking about it to this day
If something else happened
If it would have a different end
But either way I'd still depend on you
I'm biding, yes, biding my time
For the time until you slip from between the lines
Out of my mind
And find my backbone growing
Showing that my mind is fine
But until that time
You're still here in my mind
Racing between the lines
While I'm biding my time
But even so
All I can do is cope
And hope that one day
I'll grow a spine and fly away
From my mind into my my happy place
Forever gone without a trace
Of you or any other thing
That tries to mess with me
And bring me down from my destiny
Ergo, I know that if I undergo my recovery
Into my growing spine that's showing the disappearance
Of the bold and dark lines in my mind
You'll be gone
And without a trace
My present is your absence
Of your presence
In between the lines that lay comfortably
In the skyscraper that is my mind
And it's not moving anytime soon
